Strange, I've never had an accuracy problem on my thief. Used to be a problem with tanks not properly taking aggro and thief could suffer when stealing the spotlight but that got fixed during the combat revamp. I'll take Gia over Etheruined any day though, and not just because I like her better. Pure heals is just a waste of action economy when you can have someone that heals and tanks while dishing out some okay damage at the same time. And if I want a summon I can put Bri in her fiery harem garb.
